If you put it out You might never see the flame again Lover if you put it out You might never see the flame again Gotta let it burn until the end On its own We waited for tonight for what felt like days But everything that burns bright never stays You were the dawn That bathed me in peach And I would come to greet you like the beach to the sun Lover, if you put it out You might never see the flame again Lover if you put it out You might never see the flame again Better let it burn until the end All on its own We waited for July for what felt like years But anything that moves slow soothes my fears You were the autumn That bathed me in gold I'm a fool that thinks you were a flame I could hold Lover, if you put it out You might never see the flame again Lover if you put it out You might never see the flame again Gotta let it burn until the end On its own Every time the day breaks you are The only one awake the way you are Every night your lights the brightest star But I only feed it dark sometimes Lover, if you put it out You might never see the flame again Lover if you put it out You might never see the flame again Lover if you put it out You might never see the flame again Gotta let it burn until the end
